MORE THAN A [WE(B]LOG)
- Content Management System
- Teacher Blog
- Class or Group Blog
- Student Blog
Blog feature sets have evolved to be far more than simple web log journals. They are now capable serving as sophisticated content management systems.
Typical blog applications in the classroom include:
All three approaches can be used independently or in combination, depending on the identified need. Of course, there are many more possible uses, but these three are a good starting point.

TEACHER BLOG
- Course Management
- Resource Distribution
- Facilitate Discussion
- Gather Feedback
A teacher blog is the fastest and easiest entry point. It is a useful alternative to wrestling with a complex learning management system (LMS), like MOODLE.
A blog can be used to plan and manage a course for more one way distribution. However, it can also provide a platform for more two way interaction like distributing resources, facilitating basic online discussions, and gathering limited kinds of feedback.
While there are limitations to this approach, there are fewer than there may seem when using some imagination.

CLASS OR GROUP BLOG
- Unified Publications
- Shared Student Responsibility
- Project Management
- Media Channel or Hub
Class or group blogs are another fast and easy application. Using multiple contributors on one blog eases management and provides oversight.
A blog of this kind can be used to document selected class work and, create unified section or course publications.
Content creation and management can be a shared responsibility with students, at multiple levels of permission. They can be used to manage projects, as well as media artifacts.

STUDENT BLOG
- Individual Digital Hub
- Public Sharing of Work
- Personal Learning Management
- Stake in Broader Community
Individual student blogs are a more complicated and distributed application, but it has many more powerful implications. More control is ceded to the individual story and one, well-structured blog can serve multiple course and objectives.
A blog of this kind can be used as the student's digital hub, serving as a potential public portfolio and means of personally document and managing their own knowledge and learning.
More than that, a student using their own blog in this manner becomes part of the broader community, with the potential to cultivate an authentic audience and develop a personal learning network (PLN).

LAYERS OF MANAGEMENT
- Teacher - One Stream
- Class/Group - Multi-Stream
- Student - Mass Multi-Stream
Each of these basic applications each provide management challenges and certain limitation, based on provider affordances. S
till, a single teacher blog is the simplest, requiring management of essentially one content stream.
A class or group blog increases some complexity, requiring management of multiple contributors with single or multiple content streams.
Individual student blogs presents a greater management challenge with multiple contributors and multiple content streams, requiring additional tools to ease the burden.

POWER OF RSS & MORE
- Plumbing the Internet
- RSS - Really Simple Syndication
- Feeds, Streams, & Aggregators
- IFTTT - IF This Then That
Using additional third-party tools to harness the power of really simple syndication (RSS) and more, it is possible to plumb the Internet for multiple information feeds and streams in one or more places.
Pulling information directly to you is easier than you might think. With greater skill and imagination there are greater possibilities.

DIGITAL DASHBOARD
- Using Feeds & Streams
- Management by Aggregation
- Leveraging Feed Readers
- Making the Internet Work For You
Using existing streams automatically generated by blogs and other web sources, can be captured with an aggregation tool, like a reader or dashboard.
It is possible to make use of feeds from multiple individual student blogs and other information streams that use similar services by leveraging the power of an aggregator, automating the process, thereby making the Internet work more for you.
